Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
H.Res. 639 is a symbolic resolution that designates the week of August 3, 2025, as "National Health Center Week" and encourages Americans to visit their local community health centers. The resolution recognizes the role of nearly 1,500 community health centers that serve over 32 million Americans across more than 16,000 locations, particularly in medically underserved rural, suburban, and urban areas. These centers provide primary care, preventive services, dental, vision, behavioral health, and other comprehensive services while supporting over 650,000 jobs and generating $118 billion in economic activity. The resolution highlights achievements such as 3.6 million cancer screenings and successful management of chronic diseases like hypertension and diabetes. This resolution contains no funding or enforcement mechanisms—it is purely a statement of Congressional support intended to raise awareness about the importance of community health centers in America's health care system.
